The Glasnevin BC in Dublin celebrated a hat-trick of titles at the National U/22 and Novice Championships finals at the National Stadium in Dublin tonight.
Jordan Moore, Geoffrey Kavanagh and Thomas Carty had their hands raised in victory at IABA headquarters on unanimous decisions over Jason McKay, Cormac Long and Cian O’Shaughnessy in the U/22 class.
Belfast’s Commonwealth Games Youth champion James McGivern added another belt to his collection, along with Daryl Moran, Dylan Duffy, John Maughan and Keylan Cassidy.
Keith Flavin and Brian Kennedy edged Caoimhin Ferguson and Wayne Rafferty on split decisions in cracking light-welter and light-heavyweight deciders.
The IABA are using the Men’s U/22 Championships as part of their selection process for the European U/22 Championships in Brăila, Romania from March 13th to 22nd.
The National Novice finals were also decided this evening. Gatis Janesevskis and Dean Scullion met in the 129th and final bout of the tournament with Scullion emerging victorious.
